Aramark reviews

I had trouble with my benefits, hiring package, and numerous errors in payroll, all of which were resolved by the company. However, as this happened frequently, I found this a bit bothersome. The campus director was very unpleasant to work for, and was not well regarded by the other directors who worked for her. It was not a very pleasant atmosphere. I didn't feel like I worked for very honest people--however, I think this was an issue at this particular institution.

The bonus structure is not the greatest. It is a once a year objective and is very difficult to meet. They base bonus off of plan, and not prior year. Most managers only receive a bonus every other year, since plan will be high one year and then low the next. The factors for bonus are based on top line, profit, accounts receivable, and retention. I don't agree with having accounts receivable as a bonus requirement since you can not force other large companies that we service to pay at a quicker rate. Another downside of ARAMARK is the amounts of conference calls. I find myself on up to three a week and don't find them informative at all. Aramerk has also decided that all hourly employees should be part time so that they can not get benefits. This is horrible, as Aramark touts itself as a great place to work because we have great benefits. Too bad no one will ever be eligible.
